I made a package for a friend who had a baby that consisted of oatmeal, granola bars, and Milano cookies for nursing. It was well received. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-great-gift-for-new-mom#post-1090617 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 15:06:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 1090617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the idea of something to pamper her- like cozy lounge pants and a sweater that opens in the front if she is breastfeeding. And some nice lotions- someone brought me some foot and leg cream- putting it on for two minutes was my treat to myself. </p> <p>But food gc are good too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-great-gift-for-new-mom#post-1090503 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 14:29:03 +0000 Mommy Finger 1090503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister in law bought me a pair of lounge pants and a comfy sweater that tied at the waist. The pants were a size too big, which I loved! I lived in that outfit with nursing tank for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-great-gift-for-new-mom#post-1090346 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:47:53 +0000 Bao 1090346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: target gift cards are a great idea! I remember needing some personal items and things to help make me comfy after birth and a GC would have been so helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-great-gift-for-new-mom#post-1090340 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:47:00 +0000 bushelandapeck 1090340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with PP's about the food gift certificate. It was so nice to have food already prepared for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-great-gift-for-new-mom#post-1090335 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:46:04 +0000 Arden 1090335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: I'd go with gift cards to local take-out or delivery restaurants.<br /> Or personally, Target gift cards ALWAYS make me happy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-great-gift-for-new-mom#post-1090332 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:45:00 +0000 Clementine 1090332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I'll have to see which markets are close by her house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-great-gift-for-new-mom#post-1090330 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:44:36 +0000 Clementine 1090330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: nice, new jammies are always good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-great-gift-for-new-mom#post-1090326 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:44:13 +0000 Clementine 1090326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All great suggestions but unfortunately, we live on opposite coasts :sad: so none of the baby sitting or food drop offs will really work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-a-great-gift-for-new-mom#post-1090297 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:36:38 +0000 looch 1090297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Food!

I tried to get a gift certificate for a massage or pedicure, but all the local places near here on YELP kinda scared me as they were all over there place. Anyone have any other good suggestions?</p> <p>Sorry, I forgot to mention that she's on the West Coast while I'm on the East Coast! </p>
